Ugreen NETWORK ATTACHED DX4800PL DISKLESSUK NAS Desktop Intel® Pentium® 8 GB DDR5 0 TB HDD+SSD UGOS Pro

This NAS is designed for users who need centralised, secure storage with room to grow. It supports both HDDs and SSDs, includes 2.5GbE and 10GbE networking, and runs the UGOS Pro operating system. Because it is diskless, you must install your own drives to begin storing data.

Centralised Storage with RAID Protection

This NAS replaces scattered external drives with one managed system. It supports RAID levels 0, 1, 5, and JBOD for performance or redundancy. Online RAID migration and expansion let you change or grow your array without taking the system offline. Auto-rebuild and bad block scanning help protect your data if a drive develops faults.

Fast File Transfers for UK Networks

The dual Ethernet ports support 2.5GbE and 10GbE speeds, which suit modern home routers and office switches. For example, you can back up large files quickly over a wired connection. USB 3.2 Gen 1 ports allow direct transfers at up to 5 Gbps. Always verify your network hardware supports these speeds to benefit fully.

Private Cloud with Flexible Permissions

UGOS Pro provides a secure, private cloud you control. You can manage user access to shared folders and use encryption to protect files. The system supports snapshots for point-in-time recovery and iSCSI for virtualised storage. However, you should confirm your backup software is compatible with the supported file systems (BTRFS, NTFS, ext4, etc.).

AI-Powered Photo Management

The built-in photo app uses AI to organise your library by recognising faces, scenes, and locations. It can also identify and remove duplicate images to free up space. This feature runs locally on the NAS, keeping your media private. For best results, ensure your photos are in a supported format before uploading.

Easy Setup and Remote Access

Web-based management makes initial setup straightforward. You can access your files remotely via the Ugreen app or other compatible clients. The system includes a buzzer for hardware alerts and supports multilingual interfaces. However, you should confirm the power adapter has a UK plug and check for any region-specific certifications like UKCA.
